Hi there!
Hope you're having a wonderful day! I'm just popping in quick to share with you a card I made for Seize The Birthday challenge. We are to make a birthday card and for the extra topping to add a background. And, here is my card...
For my card, I started with a white card base and stamped the circles from Sweet 'n Sassy in distress inks of Mermaid Lagoon and Abandoned Coral. The next background was made using a stencil from Wendy Vecchi. The die cut behind the bird is from Reverse Confetti. The bird from SU was colored with copics and fussy cut. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy. A tiny bow made with pearl cotton to finish off the card.
I'm trying to break a bad habit that I have of not finishing the inside of the card until I need to mail it. Do you do that, too? Or, is it just me?:-) Anyways, time to finish the inside of the card and take a peek to see if my tulips are up yet. They seem to be taking forever! Well, that's all for now. Take care and have an awesome day!
Hugs,
Maria
I knwo that SU bird and your coloring is stunning. He almost pops off the card; a true eye catcher. Love your desing and choice of colors too. So bright and happy; and with a lovely modern twist!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day; hugs!
I love your layout and layers ,so we'll put together. Wonderful coloring of the cute bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty creation, love the birdie and the spots on the background too!
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Maria! The colors are so pretty, and that bird is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMaria, this is a darling bird colored and cut out perfectly (and by hand too!) I love your background dots, they blend in so well with all of your layers and the design! Thank you Maria for sharing it at Seize the Birthday! And thank you for visiting my blog, friend! Hugs, Colleen
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Maria! I love the colours you have chosen, the background is fab and the bird is just so lovely! You're not the only one who delays in finishing the inside of a card - I have got 8 cards at the minute on my desk that need an 'inside'! Must finish them before starting another.......!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my new top fave of yours, Maria! How stunning! I love that bird, love the coloring, and love that cool background with all the dots. Gorgeous color combo, too, and all the layers are amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a beautiful card Maria! I love the layers and that bird is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMaria, your card is so beautiful! I love the precious bird and your layering is gorgeous. I absolutely adore the background you made! The colors are so pretty... I need Mermaid Lagoon! This is such a darling card, sure to be treasured by the recipient. :o) As for interiors, I typically do them immediately since I use them as I create them. If I had any time of a 'stash' box, I fear I'd wait until the last minute, though! :/ (I apologize for the slight delay, friend.. I've not been feeling so well!) Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Karen
Maria, your card is fabulous! Love that bird and the colors!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd no...I don't do insides either. I need to get better about that!
Terrific card ... Love your modern BG!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, little bird! Gorgeous palette, too! Love that trail of polka dots, and I don't do the insides of cards at all... Where would all the writing go ;) ?!
ReplyDeleteMaria that bird is just beautiful, I love the blue!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the same - never finish the inside! I used to but fell out of habit. This is a terrific card - great colours, colouring and wonderful design. Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteArtistic & beautiful, Maria! I love those colors!
